The Strong Nuclear Force and the Electromagnetic Force
Strong nuclear forces act through gluons in the nucleus
Short-range: nuclear forces act over distances on the scale of atomic nuclei, typically less than 1 femtometer. Strong: nuclear forces are the strongest forces in nature, holding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus through the exchange of mesons. Saturated: nuclear forces are saturating, meaning they do not depend on the number of nucleons interacting but act equally between all pairs of nucleons.
The nucleus of an atom contains potential energy, primarily in the form of binding energy that holds the protons and neutrons together. This binding energy is a result of the attractive nuclear forces that act between nucleons.

Strong nuclear forces act through gluons in the nucleus
They are the shortest range of the four forces, unable to act outside the diameter of the atomic nucleus.
The strong nuclear force acts only on neutrons and protons in the nucleus of an atom. The opposite would be a weak nuclear force.
They are the shortest range of the four forces, unable to act outside the diameter of the atomic nucleus.
Nuclear forces are those forces which act in very short ranges and they are independent on the charge carried by that particle , for example nuclear forces are seen to act between neutron - proton, proton-proton,neutron-neutron and these forces are attractive in nature .These forces act when the above particles are very close to each other in the nucleus. Whereas Binding energy is the energy required to maintain the particles,neutron ;proton, in the nucleus.

Saturated: nuclear forces are saturating, meaning they do not depend on the number of nucleons interacting but act equally between all pairs of nucleons.
The two forces that act only over a very short range are the strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force. The strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons together within the nucleus of an atom, while the weak nuclear force is responsible for certain types of radioactive decay.

Strong nuclear forces act through gluons in the nucleus
The strong nuclear force and the weak nuclear force act within the nucleus to hold it together.
The strong nuclear force binds protons and neutrons together in atomic nuclei. It is a short-range force that operates within the nucleus, overcoming the repulsive electromagnetic forces between positively charged protons.
The range of the electromagnetic and gravitational forces is infinite. The strong nuclear force acts over a very short range of about 10^-15 meters within the atomic nucleus. The weak nuclear force has a range of about 10^-18 meters.
